Transformational therapy for people tired of
talking endlessly and ready for healing that sticks.
ONLINE THERAPY THROUGHOUT MICHIGAN
Emily Perraut is a trauma therapist and Brainspotting Consultant offering online therapy throughout Michigan, specializing in complex trauma, anxiety, and people-pleasing patterns.
Imagine…
Setting a boundary with your whole body in agreement, instead of bracing for fallout.
Trusting your inner knowings — without spiraling into worry and talking yourself out of them.
Seeing your anxiety as an ally with wisdom worth listening to, instead of an enemy.
Feeling at home in yourself, and not just performing okayness, and holding it all together by sheer force of will.
It's not a fantasy. Your body already knows the way. It just needs the right container, safety, and attunement from someone who genuinely cares.
Maybe you've been in therapy before, possibly for years. You're not new to this. You've done the work, read the books, learned the coping skills. You can probably explain your patterns better than most people can.
And yet. Something still isn't shifting.
You're exhausted from holding everything together for everyone else. Your anxiety hasn't gotten the memo that you've figured out where it comes from. You know why you can't set that boundary, you just can't seem to actually do it.
That gap between knowing and changing? That's not a willpower problem. That's not a you problem. That's a nervous system thing that talking alone can’t reach.
If you're a highly sensitive person who's self-aware enough to know something's off, tired enough to want it to actually change, and ready to go deeper than words alone can take you, you're in exactly the right place.
You’ve done the therapy. You have the insight— but you still feel stuck.
Sound familiar?
You're the one everyone knows they can count on. You care deeply and you always show up. But you're exhausted in a bone-deep way that's hard to explain, and you're starting to wonder if something has to give before you completely break.
You know why you people-please, why you can't say no, why you keep ending up last on your own list. Knowing hasn't changed it.
You didn't grow up in a war zone, but you grew up having to be careful about expressing what you felt, what you needed, how much space you took up. And that's left a mark.
Your body is always doing something — bracing, scanning, holding. You can't remember the last time you felt fully at ease.
You've wondered if maybe you're just wired wrong. Too sensitive. Too much. Not enough. Or some combination of all three.
Somewhere along the way you lost the thread of who you actually are underneath all the managing and performing and holding it together.
I get it, and I’ve got you
I’m Emily Perraut,
Trauma Specialist | Brainspotting Consultant
I can help you to take your healing to a deeper level through working with your nervous system, brain, and body to effectively clear trauma so you can tap into your inner wisdom and reclaim your life, without having to be in therapy forever.
I’ve been there and know all too well that the unaddressed effects of trauma and nervous system dysregulation can wreak havoc on your mental and physical health, relationships, and ability to function in healthy ways, leaving you feeling disconnected from your needs, body, values, and authentic self expression. This is especially true if you have a highly sensitive nervous system.
I understand that so many of our challenges, behaviors, and symptoms come from the ways in which we have attempted to cope and adapt to less than optimal, and often harmful circumstances. I have learned about the power that developing a compassionate relationship with yourself can have.
My nearly decade and a half of experience as a therapist, coupled with my own healing work, have shown and taught me that we carry so much wisdom within us, and that we all have the capacity for healing and regulation, given the right circumstances, which is what I aim to facilitate.
Trauma recovery doesn’t have to take forever! Working with the body and brain, I often see changes and improvements more quickly, relative to standard talk-therapy alone, saving you precious time and money in the long term. Finally, I believe this work is integral to addressing injustice and oppression.
When you’re ready, I would be deeply honored to accompany you.
Powerful and Permanent Transformation
In sessions, I blend an alchemy of extensive training, clinical intuition, and over a decade of experience to guide and accompany you in a holistic, integrative, collaborative, and honoring way.
Together, we will deep dive into your ever-wise subconscious to unlock the blocks that keep you stuck, stressed, and dysregulated, while also providing your system with grounding, resources, pleasure, nurturing, rest, connection, and compassionate support needed for you to grow and thrive.
Shifting these patterns and addressing the underlying trauma related to these once-adaptive survival strategies can bring tremendous relief, improving regulation and overall health and wellbeing, and making living, loving, and being a sensitive human in this beautiful, messy, fucked-up world a little easier.
